Why must I worry on and on and on
whether the tenuous dream of Black
power transcends sleep consciousness
and manifests within the context that
shapes, structures, and organizes a
reality reflecting the agency and
determination to build, develop, and
proliferate businesses of prosperity,
lands of self-sufficiency, and institutions
centering our needs, values, and
experiences?
The anxiousness for our survival
intermixed with the fickleness of our
social, economic, and political situation
demands leadership, advocacy, and
analysis through a nationalistic lens,
fundamentally anchored in the power of
the group's collective consciousness to
pursue social democracy, economic
sovereignty, spiritual unity, cultural
preservation, and intellectual,
educational, and creative empowerment.
Entering into a new world order will
encounter perilous journeys of
embattlement, with sophisticated
enemies seeking to maintain their
stronghold on the wealth and riches of
our labor and lands, albeit waves of
rebellion, revolt, and reconsolidation
among those who share the
revolutionary vigor of freedom fighters
operating as a singular organism, fueled
by justice, and reinforced by a national
sovereign identity
where my problem is our problem..
his pain is her pain..
individual accomplishment reflects collective pursuits..
truly realizing our destinies are
interconnected by the vested interest of
producing cultural keepers, family
sustainers, bridge builders, artisans, and
political thinkers throughout the
PanAfrican milieu;
and in turn,
one house's harvest fills the bellies and
enliven the spirits of extended families
and kin as the flame of social
responsibility and familyhood flickers,
simmers, and burns.
Through the halls of enchantment,
beyond the rooms of polarity, the walls of
diversity, the ceilings of unrealized
potential, the essence of unity's potency
remains undiscovered behind the surface
of contradictions, contrasts, and
divergences.
A luta continua,
Brotha KD
